decided to record a new version of this song with the things i liked in the other two versions. i also changed the name.

warm - updated version

another deleted track from rabbits foot. just a bit more experimental than i felt comfortable putting out on my first collection, but looking back i’d love to make more music like this

good girls don’t grow up
they just get tall
they keep the lights on
stay inside
with the deadbolt on

deadbolt (bonus track)

a song that was taken off the final cut of Rabbit’s Foot. the whole ep is really a reprocessing of my childhood and adolescence, but i find this one in particular really hard to sing/listen to. i might release it at some point if you all like it

open bedroom doors
cold linoleum floors
made myself a home
in the patched up drywall hole

tried to hide the truth
i don’t think you knew
i could hear the screaming
from the other room

fade from me
like a bad dream
kept the words inside of me
and now they’re so heavy 

making myself shrink
dinner down the sink
when i try to speak
something chokes me

i’d do anything 
that you told me to
not because i’m good, 
but because i’m afraid of you

fade from me
like a bad dream
kept the words inside of me
and now they’re so heavy

fade from me
like a bad dream 
kept it all inside of me
and now i’m so heavy

bad dream (bonus track) :)

decided that i’m going to use soundcloud as a tool, rather than another place to post finished music. this will now be where you can hear unreleased music in a less refined form, if that’s your thing! otherwise go check out my other mediums :)

i lay in the shade of the bloom
as the shrill sun screams
black water stains in my room
and my pillow is green

when the mud settles to sleep, 
then maybe i’ll see
how far from me do you go
when you say you feel free?

your words are worms
and i love like a trout
‘cause you need me
like a hook needs a mouth

trout song - voice memo

this is definitely one of my more prosaic songs and i don’t love it, but wrote it to help me get through a tough time and it served me in that way. maybe someone going through a similar situation could appreciate it


my face glows like your brake lights
they warm me all these miles away
what’s it that you’re slowing down for?
did you hear me calling out your name?

before you left, you broke a glass
and swept it under your side of the bed
and it hurts to turn in my sleep
but some mornings, i still think i’ll find you there

i want a love that loves me back
but i want you more than that

do you think i’ll let you put me down
and pick me up whenever you get lonely?
well, it looks like i’ve taught you well
‘cause i still haven’t moved from where you left me

you told me that you care for me
and i wish i didn’t always believe you
it’d make it so much easier 
to make sense of why you treat me like you do

i want a love that wants me back
but i want you more than that

brake lights - voice memo

me and joni were awake until 3 am because i was taking them to the airport, and we decided to sing some songs together, this was our first time runnning through this, so some of the harmonies aren’t that well thought through. but i personally thought this was such a special moment and wanted to share it with you all

triple 7 with joni - voice memo

the very day i’m gone - nora brown cover

an old voice memo from when i first wrote this, i have since changed a lot!



let me lake you some tea
and after i’ll make shapes with the leaves
can i hold your hand in mine
and study every single line

i know there’s nothing to find
but i can’t stop trying to read your mind

i swim between your words
i make them a home in the earth
i stare into your eyes 
and gather all the gray i can find

i know there’s nothing to find
but i can’t stop trying to read your mind

you know i don’t like being confined
but for you honey, im trying
